What happened to Jalen Hurts? Eagles QB's blood clots explained

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts remains sidelined on injured reserve while undergoing treatment for pulmonary emboli and deep vein thrombosis. Medical evaluations revealed that a superficial blood clot sustained during an international fixture progressed into a more serious condition, prompting an ongoing joint inquiry by league officials and the players union regarding his initial clearance to compete.

Backup signal-caller Tanner McKee is slated to command the offense in his absence.

Nicole Lynn, representing the athlete, confirmed that a complete recovery is anticipated following a regimen of blood thinners, though the timeline for rehabilitation could sideline the starter for several months or the duration of the campaign. The medical complication emerged after imaging detected that clots had migrated to both lungs, necessitating an extended absence from all contact sports.
